  2. Make bulletin-board decisions: • where to post announcements, menu, and calendar; what kind of welcome-back display to make; which boards will be for subject-area work and which boards students will design; where to display students’ original work. • Make signs for room • Prepare class rolls and permanent records • Make class list to post on door • Put your name outside the door • Make student name tags for desks or have them make their own • Find out schedules for lunch, gym, art, music, library • Obtain supplies • textbooks and supplemental materials. First Day CHECKLIST http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/collection/welcome-back

  3. http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/collection/welcome-back 7 Great Activities for the First Day of School Get to know your students — and help them get to know each other — by creating time capsules, playing a game of "guess who," and more • New Year ResolutionsInvolve students in the creation of a set of classroom new year resolutions to guide you through the coming months…. • Guess WhoStudents become detectives in this get-acquainted game, in which they uncover the real identity of a fellow classmate. Give each student an index card …. First Day ACTIVITIES

  4. SIS Curriculum Update All science unit plans are under the SIS database. Filter master curriculum Copy them in your account Start filling out the lesson plans/strategies

  5. Science Standards Alignment This is one model of a curriculum scope and sequence. School district personnel are encouraged to adapt this model as necessary in order to better meet the needs of their students.

  28. Five Principles for Effective Questioning. • Plan to use questions that encourage thinking • Ask questions in ways that include everyone • Give students time to think • Avoid judging students’ responses • Follow up students’ responses in ways that encourage deeper thinking INQUIRY BASED QUESTIONING

  29. Plan to use questions that encourage thinking Beginning an inquiry INQUIRY BASED QUESTIONING Do you already know that might be useful here? Can you suggest a different way of doing this? Progressing with an inquiry Interpreting and evaluating the results of an inquiry Do you think that answer is reasonable? Why? Communicating conclusions and reflecting What methods did you use?

  30. Ask questions in ways that include everyone • Use no hands up rule • Ask questions that encourage a range of responses • Avoid teacher-student- teacher ping pong • Arrange room to encourage participation INQUIRY BASED QUESTIONING

  31. Give students time to think • Use Think-Pair-Share strategy • Use mini white boards INQUIRY BASED QUESTIONING

  32. Avoid judging students’ responses • Avoid judgmental comments, even positive ones like “Well Done” • Reply to students with comments that do not close off alternative ideas. • “Thank you for that, that is really interesting. What other ideas do other people have?” INQUIRY BASED QUESTIONING

  33. Follow up students’ responses in ways that encourage deeper thinking • Invite students to elaborate • Make challenging statements • Encourage them make connections INQUIRY BASED QUESTIONING

  34. The Cornell Graphic Organizer is a strategy to help students identify the main idea and important details from the text. Disciplinary Literacy CORNEL GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

  35. Key Ideas and Details • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.1 • Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts. • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.2 • Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; provide an accurate summary of the text distinct from prior knowledge or opinions. Integration of Knowledge and Ideas: • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.7 • Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table). • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.8 • Distinguish among facts, reasoned judgment based on research findings, and speculation in a text. Disciplinary Literacy CORNEL GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

  36. QUESTIONS DETAILS MAIN IDEA • Pg. 60: Why is there a photo of hot lava? • Pg. 61: How do geologists read rocks? • Pg 62: How is the geographic pole different from the magnetic pole? • Lava contains magnetite. When it is cool, it behaves like a small magnet. • They use a magnetometer to measure the lava rock’s magnetism. • Geographic pole tells the earth’s point of rotation. Magnetic poles are where the Earth’s magnetic force is greatest. • Geologists study volcanic rocks to determine the movement of Earth’s magnetic poles. Disciplinary Literacy CORNEL GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

  37. With a partner or group, survey passage (title, subheadings, captions, pictures, first and last sentences). • Develop questions from the above and write in the first column. • Read passage and highlight details that will help answer questions. • When you finish reading, use information to answer questions (second column). Disciplinary Literacy CORNEL GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

  38. SCIENCE WERKZ • Interactive eBook apps for tabletsand computers. • Include interactive tools. • Students are engaged to learn content, question their understanding. RESOURCES IPAD APPS http://www.werkzpublishing.com/sciencewerkz/
